Offer Description The aim of this position is to reveal and analyze the attitudes of Americans and Europeans to climate change, extreme poverty and global redistribution. Through videoconference interviews with a random sample of the population, the aim will be to establish respondents' attitudes, their determinants, and the factors or arguments that influence them.
This position will be carried out in close collaboration with a supervisor experienced in quantitative survey methods and attitudes to climate and redistribution policies (Adrien Fabre).
The candidate will be responsible for conducting 300 half-hour semi-structured interviews and 30 in-depth interviews in English. They will then transcribe and classify these interviews automatically (using tools such as Whisper and ChatGPT), code them manually, and analyze them statistically. The quantitative analysis of the interview data will be complemented by a narrative analysis of the 30 in-depth interviews. An integrative analysis will check whether the observations converge according to the method used. The work will culminate in one (or more) scientific publication(s).
This position is part of the "cap and share" research program, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) via the "Jeunes Chercheurs, Jeunes Chercheuses" call for projects. The aim of this program, covering the period 2025-2028, is to study the effects and reception of a hypothetical international climate policy, known as cap and share, consisting of capping and pricing CO2 emissions and returning the resulting revenues in the form of an equal monetary transfer for each human, which would involve major North-South transfers.
The person will be based at the Centre international de recherche sur l'environnement et le développement (CIRED) in Paris (RER station Nogent-sur-Marne). CIRED is an interdisciplinary center with a focus on economics, bringing together researchers working on development strategy and ecology. It combines research on the possibilities of sustainable interactions between humans and non-humans, integrating social and engineering sciences.
Remote working is also possible, in part or in full, including from abroad.
Minimum Requirements Diploma required: PhD (or PhD defense before the end of 2024).

Experience in qualitative research, particularly in conducting semi-structured interviews.
